Not sure why those would be an issue. We did Ada tasks on MS-DOS (no support 
for anything there). Nothing hard about doing tagged types, either. It's 
surely possible to treat the JVM as just another processor. [Interfacing 
might be interesting, but you didn't ask about that!] Unchecked_Deallocation 
doesn't have to do anything other than the finalization and nulling of the 
pointer, and on a garbage-collected target machine, doing nothing probably 
is appropriate.

So it's surely possible. (Intemetrics used to have a JVM Ada compiler, I 
think it was validated, so it was complete Ada 95.)
